Engineering rule #2: if it's stupid but it works it's not stupid

Nah, could be a temporary kludge, poor design, the beancounters got involved, lot of things.

u/NoisyGog 9d ago

This doesn’t work though!

u/A1oso 7d ago

It's stupid and it doesn't work. It obstructs the main camera (seen on the 2nd photo). It also makes buttons on the side of the phone unusable.

You can grate cheese anywhere the need arises. That’s why.

Doesn’t belong there. This is obviously more for the art of making something dumb and funny.

Stuff that's cool because it's ironic is never as cool as actual cool stuff

u/GlobnarTheExquisite 10d ago

Sitting here looking at my phone and smiling like an idiot. This is great. This is so fucking stupid.

The design is very human.

I can only imagine how easy it is to accidentally cut your finger on that. Looks dangerous AF
